After all, what legitimate reason could the courts have for deciding that jurors dont need to be informed of their rights? You're supposed to know them. Therefore the Court is under no obligation to educate you.

A few years back a local juror was first removed from the jury for handing our pamphlets outlining jurors rights. He was later arrested for contempt for handing them out to people coming in for jury selection.
Kinda funny that a suspect must be informed of his rights, but those who potentially decide his fate don't need to be informed of theirs.
